Parking the vehicle
In all circumstances, ensure that the
gear  selector   is   in   position   P before
leaving

gearbox,
  the   service   warning   lamp  
c

omes on in the instrument panel,

You
  can   follow   this   instruction   without   going

The gear engagement recommendations
must not be considered compulsory.
This is because the configuration of the
road, traffic density and safety remain

Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). The engine   restarts   automatically   -   START   mode   -   as   soon   as   you   want   to   move   off.   The   restart   takes   place   instantly,   quickly   and   silently.
Operation
Going into engine STOP
mode
This indicator lamp comes on in the instrument
panel  and   the   engine   goes   into   standby  
au

tomatically:
-

w
ith a manual gearbox , at speeds below
12
  mph   (20   km/h),   or   vehicle   stationary  
(

with   PureTech   130,   THP   165   and  
B

lueHDi 100, 115 and 120 versions), when
you
  place   the   gear   lever   in   neutral,   and   you  
r

elease the clutch pedal,
-

w
ith an automatic gearbox , with the
vehicle stationary, when you press the
brake
  pedal   or   place   the   gear   selector   lever  
i

n position N . Never
  refuel   with   the   engine   in   STOP  
m

ode;   you   must   switch   off   the   ignition  
w

ith   the   START/STOP   button.
For
  your   comfort,   during   parking  
m

anoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming
  out   of   reverse   gear.
The Stop & Start system does not affect
the functionality of the vehicle, such as
for
  example,   braking,   power   steering...
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not invoked when:
-  t he   driver's   door   is   open,
-
 
t
he   driver's   seat   belt   is   not   fastened,
-
 
t
he   vehicle   has   not   exceeded   6   mph  
(10
  km/h)   since   the   last   engine   start   using  
t

he   START/STOP   button,
-
 
t
he   electric   parking   brake   is   applied   or  
be

ing
 a
pplied,
-
 
t
he   engine   is   needed   to   maintain   a  
c

omfortable   temperature   in   the   passenger  
c

ompartment,
-
 
d
emisting   is   selected,
-
 
s
ome   special   conditions   (battery   charge,  
e

ngine   temperature,   braking   assistance,  
a

mbient   temperature...)   where   the   engine   is  
n

eeded   to   assure   control   of   a   system.
In this case, this indicator lamp flashes
for  a   few   seconds   then   goes   off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
Per fect
 
for
 
urban
 
use,
 
the
 
Stop

Start
 
system
 
reduces
 
fuel
 
consumption
 
and
 
exhaust
 
emissions
 
as
 
well
  as   the   noise   level   when   stationary.
If your vehicle is fitted with the system, a time
counter calculates the sum of the periods in
STOP
 
mode
 
during
 
a
 
journey.
 
It
 
resets
 
itself

In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the vehicle
may
  stall.
All
  of   the   instrument   panel   warning   lamps   come on.
Depending on version, an alert message may also   be   displayed,   asking   you   to   place   the   gear

i

t
 
is
 
strongly
 
recommended
 
that
 
you

system.
For more information on Driving
advice , particularly on flooded roads,
refer
 
to
 
the
 
corresponding
 
section. The Stop & Start system requires a
battery
  of   advanced   technology   and  
sp

ecial
 c
haracteristics.
All
 
work   on   this   type   of   battery   must  
o

nly be done by a CITROËN dealer
or
 
a
  qualified   workshop.

Speed limit recognition
This system allows the speed limit detected by
the camera to be displayed in the instrument
panel.
Specific speed limits, such as those for heavy
goods
  vehicles,   are   not   displayed.
The display of the speed limit in the instrument
panel
  is   updated   as   you   pass   a   speed   limit   sign  
i

ntended   for   cars   (light   vehicles).
The units for the speed limits (mph or
km/h)
  depend   on   the   country   you   are  
d

riving   in.
It
  should   be   taken   into   account   so   that  
y

ou   observe   the   speed   limit.
For the system to operate correctly
when
  you   change   country,   the   units   for  
s

peed in the instrument panel must be
those
  for   the   country   you   are   driving   in. The
  automatic   reading   of   road   signs   is   a  
d

riving   assistance   system   and   does   not  
a

lways   display   speed   limits   correctly.
The
  speed   limit   signs   present   on   the  
r

oad   always   take   priority   over   the  
d

isplay   by   the   system.
The system cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance
  on   the   part   of   the   driver.
The
  driver   must   observe   the   driving  
r

egulations   and   must   adapt   the   speed  
o

f the vehicle to suit the weather and
traffic.
It is possible for the system to not
display the speed limit if it does not
detect
  a   speed   limit   sign   within   a   preset  
p

eriod.
The
  system   is   designed   to   detect   signs  
t

hat conform to the Vienna Convention
on
  road   signs.
To maintain correct operation of the
system:
  regularly   clean   the   area   in   front  
o

f   the   camera.Principles
Using a camera at the top of the windscreen, this system detects and reads speed limit and
end
  of   speed   limit   signs.
The
  system   also   takes   account   of   information  
o

n   speed   limits   from   the   navigation   system  
ma

pping.
